Wembanyama is the more efficient scorer by true shooting, 62.6% to 55.1%; TS% folds threes and free throws into one number, so the gap survives shot-diet differences.

Playmaking goes to Adebayo (3.2 vs 3.1 assists), the glass to Wembanyama (11.5 vs 10.0 rebounds).

With Wembanyama on the floor his team outscored opponents by +17.0 per 100 possessions, against +6.1 for Adebayo; on-court net rating carries the teammates with it, so read it next to PIE.

On the books for 2026-27: Adebayo $49.8M through 2028-29, Wembanyama $16.9M through 2031-32. Whether either fits a trade is a Trade Machine question, not a stat one.
